It's not constructive to bash Parcells and what he did, and did not do. Focus on the here and now. Who do you guys want? I'm leaning toward Ron Rivera or Rob Ryan.

Singletary or Phillips, I'm leaning Phillips. I do NOT want a college guy.

Yep. No college guy. No no no...

I've dreamt of Singletary for a long time now... starting it up last year while BP was wavering on coming back... That would be my first choice hands down.

Phillips I'm "meh" on... only good thing is success in San Diego... I think he's better DC material than HC material... but I'd be ok with him. First choice? Heck No! But I prefer bringing in a coach with a defensive mentality.

Yeah I dont really want a college guy either. I was kinda hoping that we could get Jim Mora Jr but he took a job at Seattle which sucks, Im a big fan of his. Hopefully Jerruh picks someone good im sure we'll all be caught off guard as to who he chooses.

I'd be okay with Phillips, but he doesn't strike me as the long-term option. That hire would tell me he's keeping the seat warm for Cowher or Fisher.

Just out of curiousity, why not a successful college coach?

My preference is to bring in a coach with a good handle on what it takes to be a HC and with a QB Mentoring approach. Then hire a top notch DC who has no desire to be a HC anytime soon (Dick Lebeau, etc).

I'd be extremely happy with Norv Turner IF AND ONLY IF someone like Wade Phillips were the DC to go with him.

Or a Ron Rivera with Norv as the OC would work to.

I am sure we will...he caught us all off guard with Chan Gailey.....

So I am afraid of who he will choose......I just hope its not Phillips! OMG...some people are just good assistants and thats all they ever will be...ala Norv Turner! Give me a break...Turner has been a joke ever since he left Dallas! You actually think that guy is HEAD COACH material? I guess you people really want to stay 7-9, 8-8 and 9-7 for the next five years...going nowhere but getting a crappy draft pick just like this year!

The success rate is very low.

The game... the approach... the mentality... the players mentality... the owner vs the athletic director... the experience... not having coached against other NFL teams... it can be too much for a lot of great college coaches.

Hmm I wonder what Denver Bronco fans, Falcon and Bills fans have to say about the wonderful job that Phillips did in those places going all the way back to 1994? Hmmm.......Head coach of the most visable team in all of Football? Well..If Gailey can............................

well i must say im surprised. not that parcells left but that more of you parcell supporters arent mad. heres a guy who took this job saying this was like coaching theyankees. this was his biggest challenge and he wanted to create another legacy. bottom line is we stayed mediocre under parcells. he came here to do a job and didnt finish the job. he abandoned us and took his time doing it. i say see you later bye.

Whatever we do I believe we have to keep the 3-4. We have spent the last few years reconfiguring this defensive lineup for the 3-4 and it would mean sacrificing almost 2 more seasons to get it back to the 4-3. That would mean wasting prime years of quite a few players' careers, i.e. DeMarcus Ware and Terrence Newman. We have got to stick to the 3-4, no question.
